Thanks for your replies, ladies! Glad to know I'm not the only one lol.
A night out might be difficult but I randomly spoke to a friend of mine I haven't seen since pre-preg and we're planning to get together on a weekend. She wants to go out pubbing etc. I don't think my folks would mind looking after bub But I don't know if DD could handle it. SO I'm hoping we can organize a day activity. As much fun as going out pubbing/clubbing would be, it might be a bit unrealistic unfortunately. But hey, anything is better than nothing! I lost all of my friends after I fell pregnant, simply because I couldn't go out drinking and things anymore.
Oh, and in terms of buying clothes . . . hehe. I just bought 2 new pairs of hotmilk bras + briefs (a few probs with the website but overall I'm happy with them) and have a dress and top on layby. Arrrgh! I have to stop spending money! But I can't help it. I've lost weight, am starting to feel better about myself, and my clothes are getting too big. I need to buy things! LOL!
hi ladies
i can totally understand where everyone is coming from, i was single from 5 months pregnant so i've had absolutely no male interaction (except for my dad and uncle...) for six months now and its kinda driving me nuts... i moved up to brisbane from sydney so i lost all my friends and now i'm up here, fat, with no friends, and nowhere to go...
i feel so fat and floppy, all around my stomach, back & a$$ is still wobbly from gaining all that weight during the pregnancy (23kg to be exact, a few too many donuts i think) and 21 year olds arent supposed to have saggy boobs!!! i had such perfect boobs and now theyre ruined! damn gravity... and stretch marks, OH DON'T GET ME STARTED ON STRETCH MARKS.. i have them on my boobs, stomach, sides, thighs, inner thighs and on my butt too!! i'm a collage of stretch marks... no beach for me this summer...
i think its going to be a loooong time for me to feel like a 21 year old again... i'm still in my clubbing years and i'm stuck at home feeding bubs and watching friends re-runs! not that staying at home with bubs isn't great, don't get me wrong it's awesome! i love being a mummy! but once in a while it would be nice to get out of the house with some friends and have a pash or two with a complete stranger... i miss the freedom sometimes... i cant just jump in my car and go get my hair done or go out for a drink with mates on 5 minutes notice...
yes now i'm sure everyone is sick of reading my sob story
i'll go see if i can go buy some cute baby clothes off ebay to console myself
haha yeah i wish i could cookiemonster!
but on a serious note, if i ever did move down to victoria it would be to bendigo...
loose ends need to be tied in that town! a 'what if' story...
i need to find some saggy friends up here i think!
or maybe i could just get off my fat a$$ and exercise so i'm not fat, and get a boob lift for the sagginess... *sigh* it all sounds too hard!
The boobs do adjust! Give it 12 months after you stop BFing. I was having flip-outs about mine but my mum said it improves a helluvalot after a year. I was an E before preg, went up to a G while preg, then my H cups were too tight at the beginning of BFing and now I'm an FF. Very traumatic on the girls! And HA! You think you've got stretch marks? You aint seen nothin' honey! I have stretch marks eeeverywhere, I have stretch mark *on my calves and upper arms* grrr. I don't know how much I weighed when I fell preg but I imagine I gained about 17kgs >.< I've lost almost all of it now, so you can imagine what a delicious jellybelly I have from all the left-over skin. BUT that gets better as well I'm told. Our bodies have done amazing things, ladies! We should be proud of them!
If it weren't for contraception no-one would EVER have perky boobs - the minute you got into puberty and started DingTD you'd be up the duff - BAM! You'd have mother's breasts when you had your first bubs at 15 or 16 and never even consider that they should be perky. In a way it's pretty unnatural really, if you think of it like that.
I find exercise makes a massive difference to me. I have a DP (he doesn't live with me, so i'm semi-single - a single parent, but not single, if that makes sense) and am thinner than i've been since the age of 17 and certainly fitter than i've ever been, but i still have extra belly skin, wobbly love handles, big thighs, saggy (and HOW!) boobies. Yesterday i got up at 8am (DD was at her daddy's house), went for a 7.5k run, then went and swam 0.5k using only my arms, then walked 6k all over the city doing various errands. Sure it's not how it was when i was 15, but i'm not sure how much more i could reasonably expect of my body, you know?
Even if i'm having a fat day i feel way better after exercise. Running made a difference to me, but i took up bodypump and wow, even though i only do it once a week i sure did begin to get visible results after a few months! Before i exercised regularly it seemed like too much hassle but now you could NEVER NEVER NEVER get me to give it up!
